Outback Century Cycle

Post author By claire
Post date April 3, 2019

Do you have what it takes? You only get one chance every two years. 100 miles (160km) or 100 km – your choice of century! It’s billed as the toughest, flattest cycling event in the outback. On 28 September 2019, the Brodie Agencies/Ergon Energy Outback Festival Century Challenge takes participants on a metric (100km) or imperial century (160km) ride on a fully sealed road, starting and finishing in Winton. It may not be overly hilly, but what the ride lacks in physical tests, it more than makes up for in mental challenge.

So what’s the challenge you may ask? Out here there are no big climbs, there are miles of wide-open spaces and there are more emus than cars. The challenge is not just physical – it’s also mental! But once you get your head around the sheer vastness of this great outback land of ours, it will be an adventure you will cherish for life!

The Cycle for Life Cycle Challenge is not a road race but a “FUN RIDE” and we believe is Auckland’s longest running charity road cycling event. The event has been organised and run by the Bucklands Beach Lions Club for the past 20 years and in the process has raised tens of thousands of dollars for children’s charities.

Raetihi Gutbuster

Post date February 25, 2019

The Raetihi Gutbuster (April 21st, Easter Sunday) is a fun way to experience the scenery and history of the Raetihi – Pipiriki road that lies between the Tongariro and Whanganui National Parks.

Starting outside the Waimarino Museum in Raetihi, it’s an out & back course with options to suit most. The 18k has been completed by a 6 year old, even though it has a sharp 2k climb before the turnaround. The 50k is hotly contested by locals & out-of-towners, even though it’s a ‘fun ride’.

The road is sealed all the way.

The 25km ‘downhill’ option, is strictly limited to 20 riders, so don’t delay.

Our Easter Cycle is the ideal long weekend of relaxed fun for family and friends. From long day-trips chasing the horizon for committed roadies, to little loops for tackers on trainer-wheels – as well as our famous Night Ride – our Easter Cycle has plenty in the programme to keep the entire mob occupied all long-weekend.

There will be rides of varying distances sufficient to challenge roadies and the mountain bikers. Rides have also been planned for those looking for a more leisurely time out on their bikes, and, of course, the younger members of the group including the ever popular Easter Egg Hunt.

Round up the family, get your mates together or just bring yourself along – it’s a great way to meet people and make new friends. You can ride as much or as little as you like – it’s your weekend to enjoy!
